Miniholland is a bouldering area in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area in California, about 0.1 mile from The Captains Boulder and Boulder 2. It sits among a cluster of climbing areas and hiking trails, making it an easy stop to pair with other outings in the recreation area. The climbing here is all bouldering, with four routes listed, each graded V1 through V3 on the V scale. Eye Sockets is the easiest at V1, and "I Should Have Pooped Before This" is the hardest at V3. The surrounding area is similarly compact, with Brookins Trail about half a mile away and Backbone Trail - Trancas Canyon about a mile off. The Backbone Trail also offers a longer stretch from Mulholland to Etz Meloy, roughly 1.4 miles away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 70°F in December and January to about 78°F in April, while July and August average in the mid-90s. That station sits well below the boulders, so expect cooler temperatures up high.
